About the Author

Jonathan Lane

Jonathan Lane is the president of Industry Interactive, Inc., a Mayne Island, BC, Canada‚-based web development company. Industry Interactive offers a range of services from hosted web applications to standards-based web application development. Its newest product offering, Mailmanagr, provides an e-mail interface to Basecamp, the popular web-based project management application.

Jonathan started his career working as the web development coordinator for the University of Lethbridge, where he managed the design and development of research, department, and teaching websites, as well as helped move the university's web strategy forward.

Jonathan is married and has a pair of sons, Reilly and Parker, which pretty much occupies all of his nonworking time.

Meitar Moscovitz

Born and raised in New York City, Meitar first touched a computer when he was an infant in 1986: an Apple Mac Plus. At his father's prompting, he created his first website at the age of 12 and through it created the first online community for teenagers and young adults with Bipolar Disorder. Out of school by 16, he officially joined the workforce as a junior Network Administrator, and at 18 he started freelancing full-time as a web developer. After brief excursions into corporate IT with such companies as Apple and Opsware (now HP), he returned to professional web development and worked on websites for clients including Oxygen Media, Inc. and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

He now lives in Sydney, Australia, with his brilliant girlfriend of three years, Sara Hames, and works as the senior front-end web developer and IT director for Digital Eskimo, Pty Ltd. In his rapidly diminishing spare time, Meitar enjoys volunteering his technical talents to non-profit organizations and other small groups. He's also an avid blogger and juggler, and has way too many profiles on social networking sites.

Joe Lewis

Joseph R. Lewis works as a team lead for web development at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California. Joe is a recognized expert in standards-based web development and accessibility, and he has presented and lectured in technology subjects nationwide. Before falling into the obsessive career of web design and development, Joe was a professional musician. He is a classically trained double bassist and graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and he has performed with orchestras and chamber groups in major concert halls and festivals across the United States and Europe. When not cranking out code, writing nerd-struck pulp, or practicing music late at night, Joe spends his time with his adorable wife and two crazy kids.

4.0 out of 5 stars fundamentals, August 12, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foundation Website Creation with CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript (Paperback)
I purchase most CSS books that appear to have a different slant on the use of CSS. This book, although well written and authoritative, was less than I anticipated. It is, however, an excellent resource for those just now learning (X)HTML and CSS, et al. My complaint is simply that I overestimated its content. The writing style is clear and easily understandable and should be so to beginners as well. If considering a first book to learn these disciplines, this book is a good choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners!, June 9, 2010

This review is from: Foundation Website Creation with CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript (Paperback)
I'm a Flash Developer with prowess in AS2 and AS3 coding. However, when it comes to XHTML, CSS and Java I'm clueless. I don't even know what to search for when I need answers for such queries. I had great success with "Foundation ActionScript Animation: Making Things Move!" also published by Friends Of Ed so it was natural for me to purchase this book with hopes that it would be written in a similar easy to follow method. Lucky for me it was. There's a bit too much information on the history of HTML and CSS for my taste but one can easily breeze through those parts without missing much.

The book focuses on mark up and semantics all while working on one project throughout the book. You start with simple HTML without style, read on through the rest of the chapters and then pick up the same website project applying CSS styling to it. It was nice to see how it worked from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great starter book!, February 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foundation Website Creation with CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript (Paperback)
If you're interested in sinking your teeth directly into XHTML and CSS, this book is what you're looking for. Not only does it cover fundamental and basic XHTML and CSS techniques, it delves you into a hands-on and "classy" looking web page that you can create with a helpful and easily understandable tutorial.

Although I found the Javascript chapter lacking in any immediate and applicable information (I'm a newbie!), it was helpful in introducing me to some of the core concepts.

Very well-written book overall.
